This switch is characterized by two distinct stable equilibria over a bistable region of cyclin B1 concentrations. One equilibrium corresponds to interphase and is characterized by inactivity of Cyclin-B1/CDK1 and Cdc25, and a high level of Wee1 and Myt1 activity. The other equilibrium corresponds to M-phase and is characterized by high activity of Cyclin-B1/CDK1 and Cdc25, and low Wee1 and Myt1 activity. Within the range of bistability, a cell’s state depends upon whether it was previously in interphase or M-phase: the threshold concentration for entering M-phase is higher than the minimum concentration that will sustain M-phase activity once a cell has already exited interphase. </p><p>Scientists have both theoretically and empirically validated the bistable nature of the G2/M transition. The <a href="/wiki/Novak-Tyson_model" class="mw-redirect" title="Novak-Tyson model">Novak-Tyson model</a> shows that the differential equations modelling the cyclin-B/CDK1-cdc25-Wee1-Myt1 feedback loop admit two stable equilibria over a range of cyclin-B concentrations.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Experimentally, bistability has been validated by blocking endogenous cyclin B1 synthesis and titrating interphase and M-phase cells with varying concentrations of non-degradable cyclin B1. These experiments show that the threshold concentration for entering M-phase is higher than the threshold for exiting M-phase: nuclear envelope break-down occurs between 32-40 nm cyclin-B1 for cells exiting interphase, while the nucleus remains disintegrated at concentrations above 16-24 nm in cells already in M-phase.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This bistable, hysteretic switch is physiologically necessary for at least three reasons.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> First, the G2/M transition signals the initiation of several events, such as chromosome condensation and nuclear envelope breakdown, that markedly change the morphology of the cell and are only viable in dividing cells. It is therefore essential that cyclin-B1/CDK1 activation occurs in a switch-like manner; that is, cells should rapidly settle into a discrete M-phase state after the transition, and should not persist in a continuum of intermediate states (e.g., with a partially decomposed nuclear envelope). This requirement is satisfied by the sharp <a href="/wiki/Discontinuity_(mathematics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Discontinuity (mathematics)">discontinuity</a> separating the interphase and M-phase equilibrium levels of CDK1 activity; as the cyclin-B concentration increases beyond the activation threshold, the cell rapidly switches to the M-phase equilibrium. </p><p>Secondly, it is also vital that the G2/M transition occur unidirectionally, or only once per cell cycle Biological systems are inherently <a href="/wiki/Noise_(signal_processing)" title="Noise (signal processing)">noisy</a>, and small fluctuations in cyclin B1 concentrations near the threshold for the G2/M transition should not cause the cell to switch back and forth between interphase and M-phase states. This is ensured by the bistable nature of the switch: after the cell transitions to the M-phase state, small decreases in the concentration of cyclin B do not cause the cell to switch back to interphase. </p><p>Finally, the continuation of the cell cycle requires persisting oscillations in cyclin-B/CDK1 activity as the cell and its descendants transition in and out of M-phase. Negative feedback provides one essential element of this long-term oscillation: cyclin-B/CDK activates APC/C, which causes degradation of cyclin-B from metaphase onwards, restoring CDK1 to its inactive state. However, simple negative feedback loops lead to <a href="/wiki/Damping_ratio" class="mw-redirect" title="Damping ratio">damped oscillations</a> that eventually settle on a steady state. Kinetic models show that negative feedback loops coupled with bistable positive feedback motifs can lead to persistent, non-damped oscillations (see <a href="/wiki/Relaxation_oscillator" title="Relaxation oscillator">relaxation oscillator</a>) of the kind required for long-term cell cycling. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Positive_feedback">Positive feedback</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=G2_phase&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Positive feedback"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The positive feedback loop mentioned above, in which cyclin-B1/CDK1 promotes its own activation by inhibiting Wee1 and Myst1 and activating cdc25, does not inherently include a “trigger” mechanism to initiate the feedback loop. Recently, evidence has emerged suggesting a more important role for <a href="/wiki/Cyclin_A2" title="Cyclin A2">cyclin A2</a>/CDK complexes in regulating the initiation of this switch. Cyclin A2/<a href="/wiki/CDK2_(gene)" class="mw-redirect" title="CDK2 (gene)">CDK2</a> activity begins in early S phase and increases during G<sub>2</sub>. Cdc25B has been shown to dephosphorylate Tyr15 on CDK2 in early-to-mid G<sub>2</sub> in a manner similar to the aforementioned CDK1 mechanism. Downregulation of cyclin A2 in U2OS cells delays cyclin-B1/CDK1 activation by increasing Wee1 activity and lowering Plk1 and Cdc25C activity. However, cyclin A2/CDK complexes do not function strictly as activators of cyclin B1/CDK1 in G<sub>2</sub>, as CDK2 has been shown to be required for activation of the p53-independent G<sub>2</sub> checkpoint activity, perhaps through a stabilizing phosphorylation on <a href="/wiki/Cdc6" title="Cdc6">Cdc6</a>. CDK2-/- cells also have aberrantly high levels of Cdc25A. Cyclin A2/CDK1 has also been shown to mediate proteasomal destruction of Cdc25B. These pathways are often deregulated in cancer.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Spatial_regulation">Spatial regulation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=G2_phase&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Spatial regulation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In addition to the bistable and hysteretic aspects of cyclin B1-CDK1 activation, regulation of subcellular protein localization also contributes to the G2/M transition. Inactive cyclin B1-CDK1 accumulates in the cytoplasm, begins to be activated by cytoplasmic cdc25, and then is rapidly sequestered into the nucleus during prophase (as it is further activated). In mammals, cyclin B1/CDK1 translocation to the <a href="/wiki/Nucleus_(cell)" class="mw-redirect" title="Nucleus (cell)">nucleus</a> is activated by phosphorylation of five <a href="/wiki/Serine" title="Serine">serine</a> sites on cyclin B1's cytoplasmic retention site (CRS): S116, S26, S128, S133, and S147. In <i><a href="/wiki/Xenopus_laevis" class="mw-redirect" title="Xenopus laevis">Xenopus laevis</a></i>, cyclin B1 contains four analogous CRS serine phosphorylation sites (S94, S96, S101, and S113) indicating that this mechanism is highly conserved. Nuclear export is also inactivated by phosphorylation of cyclin B1's <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_export_signal" title="Nuclear export signal">nuclear export signal</a> (NES). The regulators of these phosphorylation sites are still largely unknown but several factors have been identified, including <a href="/wiki/Extracellular_signal-regulated_kinases" title="Extracellular signal-regulated kinases">extracellular signal-regulated kinases</a> (ERKs), <a href="/wiki/PLK1" title="PLK1">PLK1</a>, and CDK1 itself. Upon reaching some threshold level of phosphorylation, translocation of cyclin B1/CDK1 to the nucleus is extremely rapid. Once in the nucleus, cyclin B1/CDK1 phosphorylates many targets in preparation for mitosis, including <a href="/wiki/Histone_H1" title="Histone H1">histone H1</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_lamins" class="mw-redirect" title="Nuclear lamins">nuclear lamins</a>, <a href="/wiki/Centrosome" title="Centrosome">centrosomal proteins</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Microtubule-associated_protein" title="Microtubule-associated protein">microtubule associated proteins (MAPs)</a>. </p><p>The subcellular localization of cdc25 also shifts from the cytosol to the nucleus during prophase. This is accomplished via removal of nuclear localization sequence (NLS)-obscuring phosphates and phosphorylation of the nuclear export signal. It is thought that the simultaneous transport of cdc25 and cyclin-B1/CDK1 into the nucleus amplify the switch-like nature of the transition by increasing the effective concentrations of the proteins.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="G2/M_DNA_damage_arrest"><span id="G2.2FM_DNA_damage_arrest"></span>G2/M DNA damage arrest</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=G2_phase&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: G2/M DNA damage arrest"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/DNA_damage_checkpoint" class="mw-redirect" title="DNA damage checkpoint">DNA damage checkpoint</a></div><p>Cells respond to <a href="/wiki/DNA_damage_(naturally_occurring)" title="DNA damage (naturally occurring)">DNA damage</a> or incompletely replicated chromosomes in G2 phase by delaying the G2/M transition so as to prevent attempts to segregate damaged chromosomes.
